Federal Minister Senator Sherry Rehman discusses Pakistan’s climate future

Islamabad, 28th April 2022, The British High Commissioner Christian Turner and his team called on the Federal Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman at the Ministry of Climate Change where bilateral climate corporation was discussed. She said “Climate Stress is a pressing concern for Pakistan and it is high time that we articulated several pressing climate issues into policy. We need innovative, bold and far-reaching solutions that cover not just investments in nature to curtail deforestation, but also an infrastructure for energy transition, investment in renewables, and resilient infrastructure whilst still humanizing the climate change conversation for the general population.”

She added, “Engagement with the UK through a dedicated bilateral dialogue will provide support to Pakistan in several areas which will help with the real progress towards implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions.
Pakistan needs, for instance, the assistance of a 35% grant towards the goal of a 50% reduction of emissions by 2030 which will render it attainable and upon which our policy is contingent. We are not a big global polluter and while contributing only 6% to GHG emissions we suffer a disproportionate impact of global pollution. So while we must take responsibility for our climate, and take steps at home to mitigate effects, it is entirely understandable to expect support. She also said that gender mainstreaming of climate policies is essential. “Women suffer more from the impacts of Climate Stress as compared to their male counterparts in developing countries and a policy which focuses on gender mainstreaming and adaptation efforts to the impacts of Climate Stress must also be rolled out, along with policies that provide for sustainable waste management and water conservation.

During the visit, the British High Commission extended an official invitation to Pakistan for the May Ministerial in Denmark in advance of COP 27 in November.
